Gloves! I can't believe you don't wear any. I use close fitting leather ones for any work like this. Edit, I just typed that as he cut himself!

Thanks a lot for this series of video. Did that last summer. Up to this stage, we did nothing wrong...

Great video, much prefer seeing the work in progress rather than before and after!! Understandable it takes alot of time to record and edit. Keep up the great work!! Happy Christmas Guys!

Great stuff. Can’t waitTo see the next video. Makes me wonder how much work mine might need one day.

Thank goodness my MX5 has had a sheltered life, it's still very clean and solid underneath. Super cool video, thanks.

Wow wish I could hammer like Roy 😁 This is a great video, thanks for sharing your skills and methods guys.

@lightsuplightsdown3018 3 года назад

Very nice video guys. Glad you made it. I began cutting mine a week ago. Fortunately not requiring arch work just outer skin and inner sill at the rear. Very happy to see you guys cut near the swage line like I have 😂

What's the make of the magnetic light you use . Is it rechargable

@paulburke643 Год назад

Great video chaps. Why not fit a whole new wing?

@markw8139 3 года назад

This is awesome..! I remember coming to visit your workshop to get work done and MOT. Glad to see still lots of work..After 2 year out and Ignis ownership looking for a mk2 here in Netherlands..Learning how to weld in case of future problems..Helps a lot👊

What kind of grinder wheel do you use?

how much does a repair like this cost?

@Scrubworks 3 года назад

It'd be really cool to see a video of ways you have to prevent this corrosion coming back in the future; cavity waxing etc.

@lightsuplightsdown3018 3 года назад

We can't give everything away ;-)

@nisaim6599 3 года назад

been waiting for this forever! thanks, great video :)

How much would a repair like this set you back?

@lightsuplightsdown3018 Год назад

Best to send us an email through the website with photos of your rust areas, we will then be happy to give you an estimate

@andrewwww7684 3 года назад

Where's Jim?

Where can you get those sill end plates and rockers I can’t find them

@kkeennyyboii 3 года назад

How much does a rust repair job like this cost?

@keithbowman5679 3 года назад

I have a 57 plate Icon and all four wheel arches are beginning to bubble again! At what point does it become more economic just to replace the panel completely? I reckon I have around £2k worth of work or more on a vehicle valued around £2k.

@lightsuplightsdown3018 3 года назад

It would b best to email us photos so we can give you an estimate for the repairs

@bvward 3 года назад

Looks good to see the method behind the repairs... How's Roy's new rear diff behaving?

@royedwards-ransom7989 3 года назад

Diff is holding up well more power to come soon

@garyashby5314 3 года назад

I'm surprised you don't use an auto VIP when repairing your MX5 . This method of tilting the car would be perfect for you and make your work so much easier

@lightsuplightsdown3018 3 года назад

That sort of thing is only really suitable when a car is striped down to a bare shell

@garyashby5314 3 года назад

The auto VIP bolts to the vehicles hubs . I use mine regularly to weld sills . It's presents a really convenient angle to weld and prevents the operative being showered in sparks . I can send you photos if you want to see it in action
